Families New to Ontario

Toronto District School Board has two Newcomer Reception Centres:  West End Reception Centre and Georges Vanier Reception Centre. All students eligible for secondary school (ages 14-20) will visit one of these two Reception Centres before registration at their local secondary school.  

During the day students spend at the Newcomer Reception Centre, their English language skills and mathematics skills are assessed. These assessments will help the local secondary school support the new student with the most appropriate courses.  

Each Reception Centre has multilingual staff to assist students and families. Newcomer families can also connect with a Settlement Worker, to learn more about topics such as finding housing, looking for employment, accessing health care in Ontario, and a variety of support agencies.

The closest Reception Centre for Wexford CSA is: 

Georges Vanier Reception Centre (416-395-9440)
